    Quote: I have an uninsulated barn. I've had EEs, BRs, RIRs, BOs, and Marans that have made it through successfully during last year's cold Montana winter. Geese and ducks too.

    Quick question for you AK folk: When do you remove the heat lamps from chicks? I have no heat on my 6 week old chicks, limited heat lamp on my 3 week old chicks and full heat lamp on the newly hatched. Temps have been down in the 30s at night here in Montana. Rest of the flock has no heat.

    Well, they upgraded the forecast. We're now only supposed to get -11F but last evening, we hovered around 0F and didn't hit the lows that Missoula and the other areas did. (I think it's our altitude -- being a bit higher than the valley floors). The birds were fine. Eating a LOT. I filled...

    Yay Chicks! : It was about 18 degrees here this morning when I let them out. It was funny that Buffy, the biggest, fattest, fluffiest bird, was the most reluctant to leave the coop. The other three acted as if it was just any other morning. I need to make them a water heater...not fond of...

    Thank you for this thread. Here in Montana, the weather has been hovering around 0F and we're supposed to drop down towards -20F Wednesday. The most brutal thing is giving them water twice daily as it freezes up. I have a heat pad going where the waterers sit and I have a brooder lamp over...
